  • 3/4 teaspoon vegetable oil shrimp.png
  • 1 lb. fresh shrimp
  • 1/4 pound white onions, chopped
  • 6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 3/4 teaspoon butter
  • 1/2 pound bacon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup evaporated skim milk
  • 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 pound uncooked pasta
  • 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions in oil until tender drain on paper towels.
  2. Using the same pan, cook mushrooms and shrimp in butter over medium heat. Stir in onions and bacon; reduce heat to low, and cook until bacon browns. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, cream, and cheese; mix into bacon mixture. Cook, stirring, until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat.
  3. Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until done. Drain. Toss hot noodles with sauce, parsley and red pepper flakes.
Serve 2-4 but if you double the recipe it works great.
